Shape The Day
Before
Some Crust BakeryA bakery on Yale Avenue that dates itself to 1916 and has been the Claremont Village's morning counter ever since, with bread, pastry, a short breakfast and lunch menu and coffee to take out onto the sidewalk. The line at eight in the morning is students and faculty in roughly equal measure. It shuts early, at one on Monday and two on Sunday.

After
The Back AbbeyA dark space off Oberlin Avenue built around Belgian beer, with the abbey ales and lambics on a board and a burger that the regulars order without looking. The bar runs down one side and there is a patio out front. Friday and Saturday run to eleven, which in Claremont counts as late.
